Credit to Milliardo for giving me the idea for this thread. ^^

Who here plays this?

I have played through each level and find it absolutely fantastic. My best characters are of course Aragorn, My Leggy Loo Loo *cough* I mean Legolas, and Gandalf.

I have yet to unlock three secret characters. I really hope two of them are Faramir and Eowyn. This is in my opinion the best book-first-film-based game yet.

So what are your views upon this game?

I simply adore how the gamer is given that feel that they are in the film. Due to the fantastic grahpics and excellent gameplay. It may get a little repetitive but nonetheless it is still a very worthy addition to a hardcore gamer's collection.

Killing Orcs, Goblins, Uruk-Hai, Easterlings, Ghosts, Oliphaunts, Ringwraithes, Cave Trolls and...*shivers* even giant spiders is very therapeutic indeed.

Milliardo! To the Black Gate!

The credit does not belong to one, but it belongs to all that play their part in the battle for Middle-Earth.

I mean it's all right Sezi.

The game is AMAZING. Just putting it on and having the feel that you are there in the midst of battle fighting for something that is worth fighting for. The gameplay is amazing, easy to handle and this is a game that I personally will never tire from.

The graphics are outstanding, I feel as if I am actually in Middle-Earth doing some good on the planet.

Lets hope you're right Sezi about the secret characters because it would be so cool to slay orcs as Eowyn and show that Witch-King there are those that can destroy you. The real big-up of this game is the actual feel to it and the effects it has when you feel that you are one of the fellowship and are doing your part in the Lord Of the Rings.

'I do not fear Death' I love hunting all creatures of Mordor with Aragorn son of Arathorn.

'A DAY WILL COME WHEN WE GROW TOO OLD TO PLAY SUCH GAMES

Come Sezi ...

THIS DAY WE PLAY!!!!!!'

*THE CROWD GOES WILD*

If I had money, id get it and try it....but im broke.

I love this game, it kinda reminds me of dynasty warriors but better. It's just so cool playing as Gandalf and frying some orcs. The two player co-op is my favorite part about this game, in fact there were a few levels that I wouldn't have been able to beat without a second person (but now that my characters have all their upgrades most levels are no problem, its those secret levels that are a pain). But once you get Legolas' last archery upgrade nobody stands a chance.

p.s. I have all the secret characters unlocked and know who they are :p

ditto and they really arent that great :p

Hahaha, damn the fact I've subscribed to Nintendo Power because I know who the secret characters are...but of course I ain't telling ya. ;)

The game is great. It only goes to prove how great the movie is that the game couldn't possibly suck.

The environements vary as do their objectives, the new interaction between the world (like the big sticks...I forget the name, and the lava), the number of characters, the two player installment works fairly well too...the game has greatly improved from the first installment.

My only reluctance is that such a game went seemingly all out action and perhaps would've done better with some adventure elements, earlier on. Not so much staged but maybe a big world. In addition, there is some obvious recycling of moves to characters and some of the locked characters have basically the same moves and objectives as others, but by the merits, this is a solid game.

Of course, you can play as Gandalf, easily the best person in the movie, and also in the game.

If I remember correctly, there will be a trilogy. I'm hoping they'll continue to have ambitions to improve the game even further. Maybe make Eowyn playable along with maybe a few others.

Lord of the rings ROTK Game, is the best! i played fellowship and two towers and they were crap, but when i got rotk i thought....WOW!

Completed it 2 times now, Aragorn, Legolas, Sam and others are now level 20...HA BEAT THAT!

yeah its a good game..

Yes the game is great. I expecially like that they have introduced Co-op mode.

PS: The secret characters are Frodo, Merry, Pippin, and Farimir. NO EOWYN.


Yes I'm an asshole.
